I went to Best Buy to try to purchase a CD Player for my car. Unfortunately, they were out of stock. This pissed me off greatly. But now that my being pissed off has declined, I'm going to call the Best Buy in Hialeah and see if they have it in stock, so I can go tomorrow morning and be the first one to have my new CD player installed. Then I can listen to custom audio CDs while I drive. }:)

I swapped hard drives today. My old 3GGB for a new 13.1GB one. The old one went into another computer, which had its 1.6 GGB drive stop working (it sounds like a mechanical problem). Part of the fun on my computer was that since I had an older BIOS, it only saw the first 8.4gig. Fortunately, Western Digital had a little download from their site that basically added a little program that would intercept BIOS calls to INT 11(I'm not sure it is 11), which would return correct hard drive information. However, it only works by residing in the boot sector, which may cause a problem with LILO. (I have to download and install a new Linux version, burn a CD, and install from that.) The new hard drive is faster and bigger. Now I can give Linux lots of room on the HD. (Or how about mp3 server...?)
